The first single from Lil Nas X’s upcoming second album is out tomorrow, complete with a League of Legends tie-in





He recently confirmed there will be two music videos for the track




Another track titled “My Little Baby” (which was originally leaked before Montero dropped) is featured in the YSL Beauty campaign



In addition to a song called “Give Me One Chance” in the Vitamin Water campaign that launched over the summer

I've been obsessed with all the League of Legends stuff he's been doing this week. My two favorite things coming together.

And since it wouldn’t let me embed in the OP, here’s performances of “Star Walkin’” and “Down Souf Hoes” from his tour

Is Saffa supposed to be the album title or am I missing some other meaning? It appears on the single cover too.

Apparently it’s the name of the character in the video? No other explanation beyond that that I’ve seen

Has he actually confirmed that this is the lead from his album? It's certainly no Montero. I'm... whelmed.

He told fans after his show it was for the album. It’s also impacting radio on the 27th. Can’t remember if “Late to Da Party” was serviced at all, but this is already being treated like a bigger moment than that.

I like it… even if it is serving Rise energy ddd.

Perhaps his most sonically inoffensive release in a while, the verses try and be shocking but that kind of gets drowned out by the “I CAN DO THIS I CAN MAKE IT” mantra.

I am looking forward to his version of the video, however.

 

[Digital_Fossil]

Beautiful melodies, beautiful basslines, etc.
Absolutely love this!

 

[Uno]

Love the new song - he's been teasing it for a long while now. Wish the chorus had more of a punch and a sense of urgency but I think it could be sold well with a good video and performances.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

This is a nonevent for me which is sad. Tales of Dominica autoplayed after and I can't even remember Star Walkin now

 

[spaceship]

The song structure is giving me Legendary Lovers with the super fast chorus and the laid back verses.

 

[Milotic]

It’s catchy for sure. I like it!

 

[Drew]

It's ok. It doesn't grab you the way the 3 singles off Montero did. This doesn't feel like a lead single though. And the "(League of Legends Worlds Anthem)" makes it seem even less like one.

 

[Duppe]

I like it, don’t love it. I like the juxtaposition between the verses & chorus, but yeah the chorus is serving cheesy self empowerment.

I really like the new track!
